Report Highlights
The updated separation requirement for life insurance companies mandates that
life companies maintain a separation between the assets and liabilities
attributable to operations involving occupational pension insurance and those
involving their other operations.
While not yet on the Swedish legislative agenda, the regulator has been vocal
on the issue of the right of transfer for savers in pension insurance
policies. This right is currently assured with new insurance contracts only.
However, Finansinspektionen is concerned that it be available for all
policies, both new and existing.
The EC is expected to publish its formal proposal for a Framework Directive on
Solvency 2 by July 2007; however in 2006, FI implemented the traffic light
model for supervision of insurance companies. This measures their exposure to
financial risk, with a view to ensuring that they can meet their commitments.
